Chapter 546 Pei Xingjian's Strategy (1)
Pei Xingjian continued to sow discord between Ashide Wenfu and Ashina Funian.
Ashide Wenfu and Ashina Funian also repeatedly tested each other's true intentions, causing the misunderstanding between them to continue to deepen.
When Ashina Funian and Ashide Wenfu were suspicious of each other, Pei Xingjian felt that the discord between them was almost over, and thought that he would add fuel to the fire.
Pei Xingjian summoned all the generals and began to assign tasks.
"Everyone, the time has come to completely resolve the Turkic rebellion. I hope that everyone can be sincere and united and not make any mistakes." Pei Xingjian said.
"Just give your orders, the general manager, and we will do our best." Cheng Wuting said.
"Okay! In order to better force Ashina Funian to surrender and capture Ashide Wenfu, we must add fuel to the fire." Pei Xingjian said.
"What is the plan of the general manager? Now Ashina Funian and Ashide Wenfu are suspicious of each other. Apart from being on guard against each other, there is no situation of fighting each other." Cao Huaishun said.
Ashina Funian and Ashide Wenfu are suspicious of each other, but they have tacitly ordered their subordinates not to have any friction with each other.
If things continue to develop like this, it is impossible to get them to fight.
"Why don't we withdraw the army? Once they have no worries, they will fight each other. This is what happened after Cao Wei's Taizu defeated Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu during the Three Kingdoms period."
"Didn't they withdraw the troops back to Xuchang, causing the Yuan brothers to fight among themselves, and finally unified the north? Why don't we follow suit?" Li Wenliang said.
"Don't bother. If we take the initiative to attack, they will inevitably be in chaos." Pei Xingjian said.
Withdrawing the army is a matter of great importance, and it is not something that he, the general manager of the army, can decide.
Moreover, to what position should we withdraw to make them believe, and how much supplies will the army consume in this round trip. Moreover
, this matter cannot be known to too many people, otherwise it will be useless if the news leaks out. What will the court think if they know that you suddenly withdrew the troops?
Will the imperial court think that you want to rebel? To put it bluntly, you have too many concerns. Not only may it not work, but it will also cause trouble.
"The general manager means that I will send troops to attack Ashin Wenfu, so that he will think that Ashina Funian is in the same group with us, and increase the hatred between them." Deputy General He Jiami said.
"No! Our target is not Ashin Wenfu, but Ashina Funian, who is already frightened. He is our target."
"Only in this way can they really fight, force Ashina Funian to surrender, capture Ashin Wenfu, and quell the rebellion of the Eastern Turks." Pei Xingjian said.
Everyone was shocked after hearing this! They all thought Pei Xingjian was crazy. Wouldn't this be equivalent to pushing Ashina Funian back to Ashin Wenfu?
Isn't everything we did before in vain?
"General Manager, is this not appropriate?" Li Wenliang asked.
"Nothing wrong with it. This is the best way to solve the rebellion of the Eastern Turks. If we attack Ashinde Wenfu, Ashina Funian will definitely attack us from behind." "
By then, let alone solving the problem of the rebellion of the Eastern Turks, we may all be in crisis. If we fail in this battle, His Majesty will blame us, and it will not be as simple as exile." Pei Xingjian said.
Everyone was silent!
"Cao Huaishun!" Pei Xingjian shouted.
"I am here!" Cao Huaishun saluted hurriedly.
"Order your troops to set up camp here, and lure Ashina Funian on Jinya Mountain down to attack your troops." Pei Xingjian pointed to a point on the map and said.
He was planning to use Cao Huaishun's troops as bait to lure Ashina Funian into his trap.
"I will obey your orders!" Cao Huaishun said with a fist salute. He knew that his troops were actually bait, but he still carried out Pei Xingjian's orders without hesitation.
"Cheng Wuting, He Jiami." Pei Xingjian called Cheng Wuting and the other two.
"I will be here!" Cheng Wuting and He Jiami said with a fist salute.
"When Ashina Funian attacks Cao Huaishun's troops, he will definitely leave his wife, children and baggage at Jinya Mountain and lead the light cavalry south to attack Cao Huaishun's troops."
"After Ashina Funian leaves, the defense of Jinya Mountain will be empty. He Jiami will go through the Tongmo Road and Cheng Wuting will go through the Shidi Road to lead the army to attack the Turkic camp Jinya Mountain."
"Bring back Ashina Funian's wife, children and baggage to me. Ashina Funian, who has lost his baggage, can only surrender to the Tang Dynasty." Pei Xingjian said.
"I obey your orders!" Cheng Wuting and He Jiami responded.
"Everyone should do their job and act according to the plan!" Pei Xingjian said.
"Yes!" Everyone clasped their fists and responded, leaving the big tent.
After Cao Huaishun returned, he immediately moved his troops to the designated location to lure Ashina Funian away from Jinya Mountain.
Ashina Funian's spies reported the situation of Cao Huaishun's troops to Ashina Funian.
After hearing this, Ashina Funian, who was becoming more and more frightened, seemed to have caught a glimmer of hope in the dark night of fear.
During this period, Ashide Wenfu's suspicion of him became more and more serious, and there were even signs that he was going to attack him, which made Ashina Funian very scared. So Ashina Funian
decided to raid Cao Huaishun's troops first to dispel Ashide Wenfu's suspicion and stabilize the other party first.
As for the Tang army, he had also thought about it! As long as he didn't do anything excessive, the Tang army would not do anything to him.
After all, the Tang army still needed to rely on him to deal with Ashinde Wenfu, so even if he attacked Cao Huaishun, the Tang army could only accept it.
Ashina Funian did not hesitate too much, assembled his troops, and led the light cavalry to attack Cao Huaishun, so that he could achieve his goal in the shortest time and at the fastest speed.
Ashina Funian's attack on Cao Huaishun was not successful. Although Cao Huaishun's troops were bait, it did not mean that they were unprepared.
From a raid to a head-on confrontation, Ashina Funian was very depressed.
What Ashina Funian did not know was that when he left Jinya Mountain and led the light cavalry to attack Cao Huaishun.
The Tang army's deputy general He Jiami led his troops from Tongmo Road and Cheng Wuting led his troops from Shidi Road, and they attacked the Turkic stronghold Jinya Mountain from both places.
Since the defense of Jinya Mountain was weak and the main force was taken away by Ashina Funian, He Jiami and Cheng Wuting conquered Jinya Mountain without any effort. They
also took away Ashina Funian's wife, children, and all their belongings, leaving no food for him.
When Ashina Funian learned about this, he almost fainted from anger and hurriedly led his cavalry back to Jinya Mountain in disgrace. When
Ashina Funian returned to Jinya Mountain, he found that his family and baggage were all gone, and he was immediately shocked and angry.
At this time, there was an epidemic in Ashina Funian's army, and many people died. Ashina Funian had no choice but to go north to Xisha.
